Wolf Advocacy Groups Push Back Against Rep. Quinn's Wolf Bill

Wolf advocacy groups are pushing back against a Republican bill introduced by 75th Assembly Representative Romaine Quinn and others that would end Wisconsin's efforts to manage wolves until the federal government removes the animals form the endangered species list.

The Endangered Species Coalition, the National Wolfwatcher Coalition and Friends of the Wisconsin Wolf and Wildlife say the bill is an "affront to the majority of Wisconsin citizens who support this species."

Under the bill, Wisconsin police and wardens would be prohibited from enforcing any federal or state law relating to wolf management or prohibiting killing a Wisconsin wolf.
